Why the blogging?

There are a few reasons we decided to start this blog.

(1)Primarily this is for us, even if nobody reads it we will find it a valuable exercise in documenting our adventures.

(2) There are a number of things that are constantly changing in our lives that people often ask about. The primary topic of questions is Emily's health. If you are not aware of Emily's recent health happenings, you can read this. We will try update any new health information as it occurs, but if there is nothing new on here, you can assume things are business as usual (usual for us at least). We will also post education and career updates as we have them. This is not to say you can't still ask us questions; we aren't bashful or offended by questions.

(3) Chris is starting his PhD in September (2011) and will have little to no free time during the school year. This blog will serve as a gentle reminder to Chris that there is life outside of school and that wilderness adventures await each coming summer.

(4) We have had some great adventures that we want to make sure we document and remember. We have kept a journal of these adventures and thought we might as well share them with others. Maybe they will give you trip or gear ideas, encourage you to go backpacking or do an AR, make you laugh, or make you cry (not really).
